David Ndii accumulated a large amount of wealth during the years he worked in the higher echelons of government. His opulence is evident in the huge mansion that he lives in.
Ndii has worked for big political players for many years. In 2003 he was tasked by former President Mwai Kibaki to develop an Economic Recovery Strategic Plan to bolster the economy under the NARC Government.
In 2008, Ndii was recruited by the government of President Paul Kagemi to serve as an economic advisor. The salary negotiated with World Bank for Ndii’s services was $20,000, an equivalent of slightly over Ksh2 million per month based then exchange rate.
Ndii also served as a chief campaign strategist for the National Super Alliance (NASA) before he fell out with ODM leader Raila Odinga.
After clashing with Odinga, Ndii crossed over to deputy president William Ruto’s camp. He is the man behind hustler’s bottom-up economic model.
Ndii is a key member of Ruto’s campaign team and is the brains behind the DP’s economic plan for the country.
During his time working for Raila, Ndii was a fierce critic of President Uhuru Kenyatta’s government and would occasionally clash with government loyalists on Twitter.
Even after the March 15th 2018 handshake between Raila and Uhuru, Ndii did not hold back on his criticism of the government.
It was during one of Ndii’s arguments with critics on Twitter that he opened up about the palatial home he owns.
On September 23rd 2018, a tweep Kipkirui Chirchir called out Ndii for offering too much advice on Twitter yet he owns nothing.
“You advise so much yet u own nothing….point us a business u do,” Kipkirui Chirchir tweeted.
Chirchir’s tweet rubbed Ndii the wrong way and he decided to post photos of his lavish mansion just to prove his critic that he was rich.
Ndii shared images of his posh house which sits in a picturesque compound surrounded with lush green foliage.
“I own this,” David Ndii captioned photos of his multimillion shillings property.
Ndii’s mansion boasts of a unique architectural design. The exterior of the house is grey and has a dark grey roof as well. The house’s design mirrors colonial mansions which were owned by the privileged white elites.
The compound has a well-manicured lawn with spectacular jungle like greenery with tall trees, and other plants dominating the landscape.
Ndii’s house also has a vintage library and wine cellar, where the economist takes time to unwind, or spend time with colleagues.
